DFM Tips for Injection Molding
Wall Thickness
Uniform wall thickness is necessary, otherwise it will influence the mechanical performance, cosmetics of the injection molding parts.
Ribs
The ribs are prone to generating sink marks. Therefore, the wall thickness of ribs have got to be significantly reduced if possible.
Undercuts
Undercuts in injection molding make it difficult for injection molded parts to be ejected. This should be avoided during manufacturing.
Parting Line
The location of the parting line should be considered carefully. Avoid to set fillets around the parting line, otherwise it will lead to unwelcome small defects in the mold.
Ejector Pins
After the parts were ejected by ejector pin from the mold when your injection molding part has finished cooling, and most of the time there will be ejector marks that should be avoided.
Multi-cavity Mold
Multi-cavity injection molds can save costs because more injection molded parts can be produced in one production cycle, and productivity increases exponentially.
C-Shaped feature
Due to the inherent weakness of C-shaped parts, should be cautious with C-shaped injection molded parts, as they maybe warp even more, compared to unfilled material.
Draft Angle
A properly designed draft angle, and applying it when tooling design will make the injection molded parts to be released easily from the mold without prying them out.
Use radius correctly
Use radii only where necessary, for example, to remove sharp edges. In general, Proper usage of corner radius during injection molding can improve the strength of the molded parts.

The Injection Molding Process
Learning more about the injection molding process will help to make the necessary considerations in designing injection molded parts and how to plan production schedules.
Definition of A & B Side
When designing injection molded parts, the different finish requirements of its cosmetic side and functional side should be considered and balanced against their end-use. The critical surfaces should be as defect-free as possible, while minor defects on secondary surfaces should be minimized.
The two surfaces of injection molded parts normally have different purposes.
Side A, the side facing the cavity, is known as the cosmetic side and is usually the visible outer surface; This side should be smooth or have the required texture.
Side B, the back half of the mold, is known as the functional side and normally contains some structural elements that can be hidden after assembly (e.g. bosses, ribs, etc). This side will normally have minor defects similar to ejector pin marks.
Common defects of Injection Molded Parts
Most defects in injection molded parts are related to uneven or inadequate flow and solidification of the molten material, from being filled to being cooled. Therefore, the first priority is to ensure good design. Some common defects in injection molding are listed below and should be carefully considered and avoided during designing and manufacturing.
Sink marks
When the surface of an injection molded part is solidified posterior to its interior, small sink marks may appear on the surface here.
Most of the defects of sink marks are caused by uneven wall thickness. Two effective ways to solve this problem are adding ribs and coring out of thick area.
Drag marks
The shrinkage that accompanies cooling during solidifying can exert some pressure on the mold. When the molded part is ejected from the mold, drag marks occur due to its walls scraping against the mold.
Typically, the injection molded parts designed without a draft angle (with vertical walls) are most likely to lead to these defects.
Warping
When different sections or areas of the injection molded parts are cooled unevenly (certain sections are cooled slower than others), then the parts will bend under the action of internal stresses.
Non-constant wall thickness design is the major cause of bending.
Flash marks
Flash marks can affect the effectiveness of sealing and assembly.
This type of defect usually occurs when excess molten material spills out of the mold cavity, and mainly at the parting line or ejector pin position.
Knit lines
Inside the mold, small stripes (called knit lines) with discoloration may occur when two streams of molten material meet.
These stripes not only interfere with the visual appearance of the molded part (which is deemed unacceptable for aesthetically demanding cosmetic parts) but also affect its performance to some extent.
